Product Summary
May My Ride is Under Armour’s cycling focused tracking app that also tracks over 600 other activities like running, walking, swimming and strength training. The app syncs with a variety of devices like FitBit, Garmin, Zwift and Apple watches. Map My Ride offers both a free version and a subscription plan called MVP.
The free program allows you to track your cycling and other activities with basic statistics. If you participate in a wide variety of exercises and want to keep all of that information in one place, this may be the app for you. You can also plan a route on the Map My Ride website and save it to access via your phone later. The free version provides customized audio updates during your ride. You can select how often you receive updates and what information is provided (time, distance, pace, speed, heart rate, etc.) You can also completely deactivate audio updates.
The MVP subscription service provides a lot of additional features, not all geared towards cyclists. Currently there are only training plans available for running. You will gain access to the ability to create custom splits of anywhere from 0.1 to 10 miles. You can access audio coaching and live tracking to share your current position with loved ones, too. You will also get in-app route planning with Route Genius. Route Genius will create a circular route for you based on your desired workout distance.
MapMyRide has mixed reviews. Positive reviews generally appreciate that they can track a wide variety of workouts in one place. They did complain that the app took a long time to sync at the end of workouts. Users also complained that the app was overly complicated and it was easy to hit the wrong button and delete a ride. There were also complaints of the app being buggy and crashing a lot.
